titan commit¶

Commits the current data state of the container. When creating commits, titan will use your git configuration to determine the name and email address to use by running git config user.name and git config user.email. If you have not configured git before, you can run git config --global user.name <name> and git config --global user.email <email> to set these values.

Note

If you are not a git user and don’t want to have to install it to use Titan, join the Community to help design and implement an alternative.

Warning

Titan assumes that it is safe to snapshot the current state of the data while the container is running, and that starting the container with data in such a state will automatically recover. This would necessarily be true for any data store that can survive an unexpected outage. If you are working with a container that first must be manually quiesced, you should titan stop the container prior to committing state, and titan start it afterwards.

Syntax¶

titan commit [-m message] [-t key[=value] ...] <repository>

Arguments¶

repository: Required. The name of the target repository.

Options¶

-m, --message message: Specify a human-readable message associated with the commit. This message, along with author information, will be visible in titan log output and propagate with the commit when pushed to, or pulled from, remote repositories. If not provided, then an empty string is used.
-t, --tag tag: Specify a tag to set for the commit. This option can appear multiple times. If the value is omitted, then the empty string is assumed. For more information on tags, see the Tagging Commits section.

Example¶

$ titan commit -m "my first commit" -t nightly -t source=qa myrepo
